WARNING
Diesel fuel or hydraulic fluid under pressure can
penetrate skin or eyes, causing serious injury or
death. Fluid leaks under pressure may not be visible.
Use a piece of cardboard or wood to find leaks. Do
not use your bare hand. Wear safety goggles. If fluid
enters skin or eyes, get immediate medical attention
from a physician familiar with this injury.

To Connect: Remove dirt or debris from the surface of
both the male and female couplers, and from the outside
diameter of the male coupler. Visually check the couplers
for corroding, cracking, damage or excessive wear. If any
of these conditions exist, the coupler(s) [Figure 42] must
be replaced.
Install the male coupler into the female coupler. Full
connection is made when the ball release sleeve slides
forward on the female coupler.
To Disconnect: Hold the male coupler. Retract the sleeve
on the female coupler until the couplers disconnect.
